THE PUBLIC PRINTING OFFICE.
Urgent Necessity for More Room or an En-
tireIy New Buiiding.

tireIy New Building.
The business of the Government Print
ing Office has so increased in recent
years that the present building, as Public
Printer Benedict says, is totally in
adequate TO meet the requirements of
Congress. On several occasions Con-
grcss has appointed committees on re-
commcndation of the Public Printer to
investigate and report the true condition
of affairs.
Architect Clark Of the Capitol said to
CRiTIc reporter that in his report to
the committee he recommended certain
changes, such rs making the building
fire proof rs near rs possible, and Con-
grcss made the necessary appropriation.
The latest thing done was toappropriate
$1,000 for the renting OF additional
quarters 10 store some of the materials
of thcsotiice Now the business of the
Printing Office has grown TO such pro-
portions that even the yards are filed
up with material.
In conversation with n CRtIIc reporter,
the Public Printer said that the grand
jury in their last report condemned the
use of the Printing Office for press de-
partmcnt, saying that tho building was
subjected TO too great Il strain. lie
agreed with the grand jury, and said
that the increasing volume of public
printing made it imperative that some
thing be done. He did not expect to
sec new building erected for some
years to come, but he did look forward
TO the time when Congress would
RENE ly the evil reported by the grand
jury, and have II separate building for
the press department.
From time 10 time Congress has made
appropriations to extend the oilicesby
renting buildings and giving more room
10 the needs Of the office, but the relief
thus afforded was only temporary, and in
little while matters would be MS bad as
ever. A number of Congressman, when
asked for an opinion on the subject, said
that eventually Congress would have to
authorize the erection of q new building,
and the cramped condition of the Office
at the present time was all the evidence
needed TO convince Congress of the
necessity for early action. When the
Printing Committee is appointed they
will give the subject their first oonsidera-
ton.

The New Cars to be Run on the w. and
nnfirnnt

ftuilrOuu.
The first Of the new cars to be put on
the Fourteenth-stree line arrived yes
terday from the builders in New York.
1t is q handsome piece of work and
shows many novel innovations upon
street-car building. The car is of ma
hogany finish and has double roof
and ventilated ceiling. The windows
are of plate glass and extend flush to
the roof, great improvement over the
old style, and admitting more light.
Just under the archcd roof Is an illumi-
mated glass sky-light bearing the word
Fourteenth Street" the sides are let
tered in silver, capitol via Pennsyl-
vania Avenue and Fourteenth Street"
The platforms are provided with horse
guards and rubber step mats.
Before each wheel is rubber-life
guard. All the metal work Of rails and
bars is polished brass. The interior of
the car isquite inviting. The mahogany
woodwork, the heavy plush cushions
and back, the large brass centre lamp,
and two bevclcd glass mirrors gives
rich appearance. Extending along the
sides Of the car is u cord with straps for
each passenger, so when n lady wishes to
stop the car she does not rise from her
seat, but pulls the strap, which, by "
pneumatic contrivancc, calls the atlen-
tion of the conductor, who in turn sig
nails the driver to stop.
Said President Hurt Of the Washing
ton and Georgetown Railroad Company:
"These cars combine all the improve
ments known to builders at tho present
day, and arc said TO be tho finest ever
turned out of the shop. They will be
put on the road about January l."
